Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 0.25 cup Coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Erythritol sweetener
• 3 large Egg yolks
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Heat over low heat, stirring frequently, until melted and smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and xanthan gum.

Step 4

Add the melted cheese mixture and the egg to the flour mixture and knead until a dough forms. It may be sticky, but this is normal.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and shape into buns. Place the buns on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

For the custard filling, combine heavy cream, vanilla extract, erythritol sweetener, and salt in a small saucepan. Heat gently until the sweetener dissolves.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly add the hot cream mixture to the yolks, whisking constantly to avoid curdling.

Step 8

Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat until it thickens, stirring constantly. Do not boil. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 9

Create a small cavity in the center of each bun by pressing down with your thumb or a spoon.

Step 10

Fill each cavity with a spoonful of custard.

Step 11

Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and the custard is set.

Step 12

Let the buns cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your Keto Custard Buns as a delightful low-carb treat!
